Marriott’s has finally launched (after a one-week delay) its game giving away points and stays worth $3,369,371.80. The game runs through November 8, 2018, and you don’t have to purchase to take part. There is a vast array of prizes up for grabs, with a 50/50 chance to win 50 points each day.

The Prizes

$7,000 check to defray taxes for the winner of the Grand prize – this only applies if the Grand prize winner is a US resident

In addition to the grand prize, you can also win a 4-night stay at one of Marriott’s 29 brands. There are 29 4-night stay prizes, and each one can be won three times for a total of 87 prizes.

Marriott is also giving away a whole host of bonus points every day. You can win anything from 50 points to 20,000 points.

Good Use Of A Few Seconds

This game is a good use of a few seconds of your time; with a 50/50 chance of picking up 50 Marriott points, it is a great way to wind down or clear your head, so log on for a few seconds and play the trivia game. You stand a good chance of winning 50 points, and if you are lucky, you could strike big.

Our Take

Will I be spending a couple of minutes a day between tasks playing the Marriott game? For sure, it takes minimum time, is fun, and the excitement of potentially winning something will give you a boost for the rest of the day! There is nothing not to like about Marriott’s 29 ways to stay promotion.

I’m going to play for the third time today. I won 50 points on the first day and nothing on the second day. I have a suspicion that you only get to win something one time…so that once you get the 50 points (the default prize) you don’t get to win again though your future game plays do enter you in to the Grand Prize draw. I hope i am wrong. I would love to earn more points.

Is anyone getting 50 points more than once? I won the first time, and nothing since…I know, small trial window, but wondering if there is a pattern in winning your first time to get you to keep coming back.

Does anyone know if getting the trivia question wrong affects your ability to collect? I’ve played twice and won only an entrance into a sweep stakes. Maybe I should have done some research before just randomly clicking …

Very much hoping that these points extend my points expiration date!!! Have won 50 points 3-4 times now. Nothing bigger yet. While the points are nominal the expiration date push back would be huge as I don’t travel much for business anymore. Looks like Howie is saying they won’t :/.

Read the response about this game being unlikely to extend point expiration, but I did win 50 points each day so far, except one time 500 and one time 1,000, so I’m just as happy even if they don’t extend expiration. Fast and easy.

Any updates on these points not counting towards expiration extension? Is there a technicality about them that would lead us to believe they won’t? I would think a point is a point when it’s hitting your account but I’m not the expert here. Just wondering!? Thanks!

Wooooo! I finally got a win over 50 points! Had 1,000 on one of my account yesterday and now 500 on my other account today!!!! Those plus 50 points most days actually add up to a pretty nice prize!

I definitely won’t count on the points extending that date based on your educated option Howie. As someone who knows nothing about how hotel points work is there a special way they code the points or something that tells their system which points count towards expiration extension and which don’t? Are there other examples of points earned that don’t count towards that expiration. Just curious l, I would love to know for future reference. Thanks!!!!

Only one of my 50 points wins has posted. I know the website says 8-10 weeks, but I was expecting that to be for the big wins. Also, can confirm what was suspected—those 50 points didn’t extend my expiration.
